2019 Map of Robbers Roost Canyon

About this map

Robbers Roost Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Jeff Davis County are defined by a network of seasonal water catchments and ranching infrastructure. This modern survey illustrates the vital role of water management in West Texas, where features like Saint Augustine Tank, Flattop Tank, and Robbers Roost Tank anchor the landscape. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Flattop Mtn, The Knob, and Nunn Hill, which rise above the complex drainage systems of Adobe Draw and Broke Tank Draw. Isolated transportation links like High Lonesome Rd and Buffalo Pasture Rd provide access to this ranching country, while the Rockpile Ranch Airport serves as a remote aviation outpost. The mapping reflects a specialized landscape of cattle-country geography where named tanks and draws are the primary landmarks.
